Description

The Cronos-1PBG Beta/Gamma Object/Tool Monitor is an extremely sensitive instrument to detect beta and gamma emitting radioactive contamination on small objects such as notebooks, keys, tools, hard hats, and other items which can be placed in the counting chamber. Short count times and high efficiency make the Cronos-1PBG, the ideal tool for the implementation of the “Empty Pocket” policy in your facility.

Cronos-1PBG monitors use a sophisticated “fast following” background trending and release-limit algorithm to provide the best performance in a stable or varying radiation field. The included WebRemote software provides an easy-to-use touch screen graphical user interface for improved health physics programs, better tracking of contamination and faster throughput.

Cronos-1PBG monitors are rugged and reliable, and are designed for use in industrial environments.
